Good morning.
I’m having a problem with my finger printer reader logging in, but for some reasons still requiring a password.
Originally I was running Manjaro GNOME Linux 6.1.146-1 LTS. And when I setup finger print reader it worked perfectly every single time. I was very pleased with it.
However I decided to update to Linux 6.12.39-1 LTS. And when I did this I encountered some problems, so I downloaded a fresh ISO, and wiped the drive and installed a completely fresh copy of Manjaro GNOME Linux 6.12.39-1 LTS.
And it’s working, everything is functional, except the finger print reader. Now to clarify it works, it does login in. But every time that I need to do anything that requires authentication, instead of just asking for my finger print, it asks for a Password. And then after I type in the password, it ALSO requires a finger print.
The older version never did this. If for example I needed to update software, it would just ask for my finger print, and then run updates. But not it requires password AND a finger print. Which for me, defeats the purpose. My password is huge, and I commonly make a mistake, so I wanted finger print authentication as an alternative.
I searched around on here for help, and one post suggested going to ect/pam.d/sudo
#%PAM-1.0
auth include system-auth
account include system-auth
session include system-auth
# Manjaro defaults
auth required pam_env.so
auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok
auth required pam_deny.so
Now if I understand this right, fprintd is listed as sufficient.
So why is it always demanding my password first?
Any help is appreciated.
